Presentation of 7 Paintings to the ATASK Shelter and 1 Hero Painting for ATASK Staff June 7, 2021

I presented my gift of the "Kija Kim Courage" series of seven paintings of the national flowers of seven Asian countries to the Asian Task Force Against Domestic Violence (ATASK) Co-Executive Director Cristina Ayala via Zoom. I was more than ably represented by my Ambassador, Sir Lamine Savadogo (Knight of Mali - he wore his knighthood medal), and was with my wife Kija at our home in Naples, Florida. I also presented one Hero Painting to the ATASK staff and volunteers for helping to save and change the lives of thousands of Asian women and children escaping domestic violence.

The seven paintings of national flowers will be hung at the ATASK shelter in Boston which is at an undisclosed location. The Hero Painting for all ATASK staff and volunteers will be on display at ATASK's headquarters office.

The video includes the general presentation of each painting and an interview with Cristina Ayala (at the end of the video) moderated by Ambassador Savadogo.
